Abstract
A multipiece aerodynamic fairing having horizontally divided sections which are nestable for transport, being engaged together by a bracket having multiple attachment points for independent mounting of each of the sections thereto. The bracket may be mounted to a cab roof for mounted transport and then continued in use for mounting of the bottom fairing section to the cab or, for independent transport, mounted after the multipiece fairing attached thereto is delivered, as in the case of after-market installation. The fairing sections are provided with interlocking vertical or horizontal tongue-in-groove joints, preferably made permanent by adhesive, to achieve a strong joint structure in the operating configuration of the fairing and to cause the exterior surfaces of the fairing pieces to achieve registry and thereby achieve a smooth aerodynamic shape and appearance in the assembled fairing.
